"It's difficult for me to have a large story, a very large story - a novel is a large story. I'm used to writing and doing these little miniature paintings."

I guess I see a part of myself in everyone I write about. I tend to write about kids who are obsessed with something, and even though I have never been good with machines the way Hugo is, I did love miniature things when I was a kid.
